CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 308 UNCLE, I SUPPORT YOU! (FIVE UPDATES)

Yu Si Niang listened to Mu Shuangshuang’s words, looking dumbfounded.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt Shuangshuang was right, especially after returning last time, she vaguely heard Old Lady Luo cursing behind her back.

Saying that back then it was because Sixth Son didn’t marry their Xiuxiu. At the time, she thought she had heard wrong, but now thinking back, it was indeed correct.

Although the Old Yu Family had neither money nor power, several children were very diligent and hardworking.

Especially Sixth Son, he has almost become the backbone of the Old Yu Family, an excellent worker, managing the Old Yu Family in an orderly manner.

Day by day, he also earns quite a bit of Silver, plus recently the family has been busy arranging for Sixth Son’s marriage, afraid of inconveniencing the Old Luo Family.

"It’s just that I see these years, the people of the Old Luo Family, aren’t dressed poorly. If it weren’t for Luo Xiuxiu helping them, could they have such good food, clothing, and supplies?"

Yu Si Niang was left with only one doubt, once this doubt was resolved, she could confirm what Shuangshuang said.

"Mother, you can think, isn’t everyone in the Old Luo Family always rosy and plump? And those clothes, are they not changing every day, or you might as well see if the Old Luo Family has contacted relatives over the years."

Thinking about these things should reveal the trick.

Yu Si Niang nodded in surprise. "Shuangshuang, you wouldn’t believe it, Old Lady Luo’s face is wax yellow, not at all like someone who eats gourmet food every day, rather it looks almost like how we were in the third branch of the Old Mu Family, even worse in complexion."

"This can fully confirm, the Old Luo Family is probably afraid of losing face, so they spent quite a bit of Silver over the years on dressing up their appearance, making you believe their Old Luo Family has money and is a local tyrant!"

Mu Shuangshuang had seen many such instances of pretending to be better off than they are.

"I should now go talk to your uncle, let him forget about that Luo Xiuxiu!"

Saying this, Yu Si Niang was about to get up, but Mu Shuangshuang quickly pulled her back.

"Mother, it’s already so late today, my uncle should be sleeping now. If you go now, won’t you wake him up?"

"Ah, you’re right, then tomorrow morning let’s go find your uncle, this matter cannot go unsaid, your uncle has suffered enough, and people from the Old Luo Family are especially adept at bad-mouthing our Old Yu Family."

Yu Si Niang closed her eyes, forcing herself to sleep, and Mu Shuangshuang did the same, but both had things on their minds, unable to sleep.

Early the next day, Yu Si Niang rushed into her room, pulling the still sleeping Yu Liulang from the bed, not letting him wash up, dragging him into the yard.

Mu Shuangshuang turned over just to find no one by her side, immediately realizing her mother went to find her uncle.

Struggling to get up, she saw the two people in the yard.

"Mother, don’t rush, let my uncle wash up and dress properly. Sharpening the axe will not delay the cutting of firewood, this little time won’t delay the important matter."

"Hmm!" Yu Si Niang then let go of Yu Liulang, allowing him to go wash up.

After they both tidied themselves, Yu Si Niang arranged chairs as if it were a three-way meeting.

"Sister, why such a big show?" Yu Liulang, although already guessing the meaning of his sister, still pretended not to know.

"What do you think? Are you really planning to stay single for life?"

"Sister, I think I’m really fine like this, have food and drinks, and freedom, live with you as long as I want." Yu Liulang laughed sheepishly, showing a bit of carelessness.

"Nonsense, you can’t be single forever! When will you forget about that Luo Xiuxiu, she’s already married, it’s impossible, and she’s living like neither a human nor a ghost now, it’s karma."

Yu Si Niang is not a vindictive person, but if someone touches her family, she would resist and do things normally wouldn’t dare to do.

"Sister, what are you talking about, I’ve long forgotten her!" Yu Liulang spoke with obvious lack of conviction, especially when hearing Yu Si Niang say Luo Xiuxiu is suffering, a flash of panic in his heart.

Mu Shuangshuang observed Yu Liulang’s expression, noticing the fleeting panic when Luo Xiuxiu was mentioned, which she captured precisely.

She stood up, walked over to Yu Si Niang, "Mother, can you cook breakfast? I’m hungry, I’ll talk to uncle!"

While speaking, Mu Shuangshuang winked at Yu Si Niang, who, though worried, since daughter made a signal, staying might spoil things.

Soon, only Mu Shuangshuang and Yu Liulang were left in the yard.

"Uncle, we’ve never really talked, how about we chat today?"

Knowing full well that Yu Liulang knows her true purpose, Mu Shuangshuang still confidently used an opening line.

However, this made Yu Liulang unable to refuse.

"Shuangshuang, my matter with Luo Xiuxiu, it’s not like your mother thinks, I... I’ve forgotten all about it!"

"Forgotten it then why not marry, and why not see better girls in the world?" Mu Shuangshuang looked directly at Yu Liulang.

Yu Liulang shook his head. "Shuangshuang, you wouldn’t understand, I... in short, I won’t marry."

"Since uncle says Shuangshuang wouldn’t understand, then tell Shuangshuang! Or does uncle think Luo Xiuxiu has some hardship? It’s been ten years, how come you still can’t let go?"

Luo Xiuxiu, in a way, was Yu Liulang’s first love, in the ancient conservative society, considered unforgettable.

Especially later when Luo Xiuxiu married another, such heart-wrenching pain likely deepened his memory of Luo Xiuxiu.

But time has passed ten years, nearly a cycle, what should and shouldn’t be forgotten, all should have been left behind!

"It’s not easy to let go. Shuangshuang, you wouldn’t understand, those memories, those beauties, those... every time I close my eyes, I remember Xiuxiu, remember her promise to me by the river... I’ve been very hard, very hard working..."

It was probably that phrase "let go" that touched Yu Liulang’s heart, he unexpectedly started speaking his thoughts, even visible tears were in his eyes.

Men do not easily cry, just not when in sadness!

Mu Shuangshuang at this time truly didn’t know how to comfort, ancient feelings are purer than modern, once someone is chosen, probably very hard to change.

But maybe, could it be? A voice in her heart questioned herself again.

"Uncle, it’s not your fault, nor is it Luo Xiuxiu’s fault, just different pursuits, she chose to stake her marriage for her future, so all future things, are hers to bear!"
